“I’m just one of those guys, I understand these are all gifts and you’re just very grateful that God blessed my daughter with a healthy baby and a great husband”, Meyer said. He is also the first Penn State player to win Running Back of the Year (award established in 2011). All life is meaningless, and so is college football. It took years just to get to a playoff, and adding teams will take time. Do not be fooled, not a week goes by in college football where the words “national championship implications” aren’t thrown around.

Mark Richt isn’t commissioner, but he played one Monday.
Nothing makes you want to sit on your couch for 12 straight hours like a little chaos.
It’s the Huskies’ first national playoff berth in the three-year history of the CFP.
Defensive tackles- Jaleel Johnson, Iowa, 6-4, 310, Sr., Lombard, Illinois; Malik McDowell, Michigan State, 6-6, 276, Jr., Detroit. Penn State finished No. 5, in front of MI at No. 6 and a sliver away from a shot at the title.
Ohio State’s postseason fate was the second-most important thing on Urban Meyer’s mind Sunday.
In this scenario, every Penn State fan should be brimming with happiness.
What effect did those games have? It’s similar to a year ago, when there when there also weren’t enough.500 teams to fill all the spots.
Conclusion: There’s just not enough there to justify this two-loss team getting in.
Penn State gave the committee something to ponder late Saturday night, when it erased a 28-7 deficit to topple Wisconsin, 38-31, in the Big Ten title game.
Rose Bowl: Penn State vs. Still makes playoff, but barely.
Maybe one day, Western Michigan. 23 Washington State and Friday’s Pac-12 title romp – “a very convincing” victory, as Hocutt described it. Noah Brown led all Ohio State receivers with three catches for 40 yards, and Barrett was sacked eight times.
There you go, that’s your entire season. And that is a stretch considering the kind of football that Wisconsin schemes, which is the equivalent of enjoying a bootleg Quaalude that requires on fights-off sleep for the first 15 minutes of the game or shortly thereafter fall asleep for the entire football party.
OR fans, mired in our first bowlless season since Twitter was invented and now without a head coach, quickly took up arms against our archrivals from Washington.
Secondly, and more importantly: expand the damn playoff. If Florida State won, we’d see two premiere offenses dual it out to advance.
Negatives: The Huskies didn’t play much of a non-conference schedule.
Even though both sides are coming off loses in games in which they could’ve won their respective conferences, expect both Oklahoma State and Colorado to treat this matchup as a playoff game. Not to mention, Washington’s only loss came at the hands of No. 9 USC. All ranked in the top-10 when they played, by the way.
Seedings were always based on the Associated Press Top 25 and are now based on the final College Football Playoff rankings. Alabama appears to be light years ahead of everyone else and all the talk will probably be considered mute by the time the championship trophy is handed out January 9. That doesn’t sound almost as cool as beating three top 10 or 15 teams, but it’s perhaps even more impressive cumulatively to not have one slip-up against a talented team.
Through the machinations of unbalanced schedules and divisional tiebreakers, the Big Ten staged a title game between teams considered by popular consensus to be the league’s third- and fourth-best.
